About the job
About the Role We are seeking an experienced Computational Software Engineer to help develop the next generation of physics-based semiconductor process simulation technologies. This position is based in Lam Research's Greater Boston area engineering office, where you will work alongside software developers, computational scientists, and semiconductor process experts developing advanced modeling solutions for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing. This role focuses on the development of advanced feature-scale simulation software that predicts the evolution of nanoscale semiconductor structures during plasma etch, deposition, and other manufacturing processes. You will work at the intersection of software engineering, computational physics, and semiconductor process technology. The successful candidate will contribute both to the scientific modeling of plasma-surface interactions and to the design and implementation of high-performance simulation software used by researchers,…
